Philips investigated this complaint and came to the following conclusion: we conclude that the received dose of 2.66 gy is as expected when looking at the chosen settings and complexity of the performed procedure.Overheating of the x-ray tube was as expected due to the short amount of time between runs and did not influence the dose received by the patient.No correction on the system was needed since it is working within specification.When the tube becomes overheated the user is informed by a tube load indicator on the system, as this is mentioned in the instructions for use of the system.(philips allura xper fd series ¿ instruction for use -user interface document version 7.0, 9897 100 04071).
